Academic Resources

Academic Administration

provide a focal point to central existing and future academic activities for the campus,

oversee the development, implementation, and ongoing review of academic policy,

lead institutional effectiveness,

oversee the application for initial accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC),

ensure that the curriculum remains current and is in compliance with accreditation standards,

ensure the provision of student support services, and

oversee institutional research.

To support these objectives, starting in 2012, the institution expanded the Office of Academic Administration to include Instruction, Student Affairs, and Institutional Research. The key staff to carry out these duties include the Director of Academic Administration, who serves as the SACS Liaison; the Associate Director of Academic Administration for Instruction; the Associate Director of Academic Administration for Student Affairs; and the Associate Director of Academic Administration for Institutional Research. This combined administrative staff provides an infrastructure for academic oversight and growth at the institution.

Unit Assessment and TracDat SoftwareUT Health Northeast purchased TracDat Software in the summer of 2011 to assist the institution in standardizing, reporting, and organizing institutional goals and assessments of unit objectives. This capability allows unit leaders to track their progress toward strategic initiatives and report outcomes to executive leadership.

Internal Assessment of Institutional EffectivenessInternal institutional effectiveness activities are divided among two offices. The Office of Academic Administration is responsible for institutional effectiveness of academic units and academic support units. The Office of Planning is responsible for institutional effectiveness of nonacademic units. While the responsibilities are divided between those two offices, both offices report the Executive Vice President and the directors work as a team on institutional effectiveness efforts.

This Recommendation defines a new XHTML document type that is based upon the module framework and modules defined in Modularization of XHTML [XHTMLMOD]. The purpose of this document type is to serve as the basis for future extended XHTML 'family' document types, and to provide a consistent, forward-looking document type cleanly separated from the deprecated, legacy functionality of HTML 4 [HTML4] that was brought forward into the XHTML 1.0 [XHTML1] document types. This document type is essentially a reformulation of XHTML 1.0 Strict using XHTML Modules. This means that many facilities available in other XHTML Family document types (e.g., XHTML Frames) are not available in this document type. These other facilities are available through modules defined in Modularization of XHTML, and document authors are free to define document types based upon XHTML 1.1 that use these facilities (see [XHTMLMOD] for information on creating new document types).

These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers (page authors and site designers) and for developers of authoring tools. The primary goal of these guidelines is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users, whatever user agent they are using (e.g., desktop browser, voice browser, mobile phone, automobile-based personal computer, etc.) or constraints they may be operating under (e.g., noisy surroundings, under- or over-illuminated rooms, in a hands-free environment, etc.). Following these guidelines will also help people find information on the Web more quickly. These guidelines do not discourage content developers from using images, video, etc., but rather explain how to make multimedia content more accessible to a wide audience.
